ZEELAND, Mich.—The City of Zeeland is embracing this cold winter by opening up its own ice rink.

Mayor Kevin Klynstra and city events coordinator Kerri VanDorp came up with the idea. Klynstra has invested hours of work into clearing a portion of the parking lot next to Main and Elm streets for the rink. He began flooding the space last week. The rink was officially ready for skates this past Saturday.

The rink is free and open to the public, but visitors must bring their own skates. Thanks to lighting, the ice rink is open until 9 p.m., weather permitting.
